BBC Top of the Pops Archive of Edison Lighthouse Love Grows

I've Just finished editing some video's for DVD of the Original Edison Lighthouse Top of the Pops performances of their worldwide hit Love Grows (where my Rosemarie goes) in 1970.
Dave & Stuart (original bass player & guitarist) have given me kind permission to upload this rare footage filmed in January 1970 and as you can see it comes off the BBC editing suite and still has the timecodes & date etc.. before final edit for broadcasting, this is the bands personal copy and now is here on You Tube for all to enjoy

Still the only genuine incarnation of this band.

Do you think that studio musicians such as Tony Burrows and Ron Dante should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

The only time one artist [Tony Burrows] has appeared 3 times in 3 different groups on the same episode on Top of the pops. Brotherhood of Man, Whiteplains and Edison Lighthouse [and he didnt even change costumes] WOW!

@Bigum99 As a mattter of fact, the archive footage [above] of Sir Jimmy Savile presenting an edition of 'Top Of The Pops' was recorded in the January of 1970 - NOT back in the mid-1960's, as you seem to think. That said, the fact that the footage is in black n white - not colour - does make it look somewhat more ancient than it actually is.

I guess that 1970 was way before your time! As a matter of fact, I was only 5 in that year - and I am now well into middle-age (unfortunately).

@runtburger2 Thank you, sir; I appreciate your comments.

It would appear that your taste in music is very different from mine - which is perfectly fair enough. One man's 'meat' is another man's poison, and all that.

On the whole, I was not (and am not) a fan of 'punk' rock music. Having said that, I must admit that SOME punk music is not without merit.

@michellesvideosuk And why not? Mr Blackburn is still a great broadcaster, and his splendid voice - which is perfect (or something very close to it) for a radio presenter/'DJ' - has hardly changed at all since the early 1970's!

Mind you, Tony (God luv him) no longer has the classic 'pretty boy' looks that he had, 40 years ago. Time waits for no man (or woman, for that matter). The prime of life - indeed life itself - is very ephemeral (tragically).

Just nuts about Tony B. xx
